By the way, your responses to this thread should look like mine in length and content. Or I'll throw another tantrum. ;)
Ok, fine. I can adjust.... or post again or whatever. :)

are you more into building lots, decorating lots, creating sims, or playing families?
I build, decorate, increasingly playing families
Quote
do you play highly decorated, with walls up/cutaway, with a focus on 'whoever has the most toys wins"? Or do you play barely decorated, walls down, with a focus on interractions/spawning?
I play decorated, walls cutaway, I wish they were somewhat less cutaway though, if you know what I mean... if playing a family I focus on interractions and the like.

- is genetics your thing? Do you like watching spawns, and spawns of spawns for how they turn out? Or do you barely get through one generation before you're off to the next family?
Trying these days to observe the spawns of my new family without freaking from boredom.
Quote
- do you build lots of hoods, or have you been playing one or two hoods forever?
Constant hood creation. Most I ever had at once was 15 hoods, most of them abandoned with unfinished houses in them.
Quote
- in terms of what your sims do: are you into relationships and interractions, or are you more into how they skill and climb the corporate ladders?
Both, depends on the aspiration crap.
Quote
- do you play lots of community lots, or are your sims homebodies?
Homebodies
Quote
-city/country/suburban?
All
Quote
- do you do themes? (aliens, medieval, Victorian)
No. Yuck.
Quote
- do you play with pets?
Rarely.
Quote
- do you do the vamp/werewolf/alien/zombie thing, or are you more a 'real person' player?
Real person player.

- hacks: do you like to make life simpler or harder? insim? inteen?
I'd like to make life simpler, if only I knew how.
Quote
-custom content: lots or a little? what do you have the most of?
Depends on the lot... I like CC, depends on the poly counts. I have a lot of garden stuff, I dunno, I've been using less CC - as someone said, with all the EPs there is so much non-cc to choose from now.
Quote
- and finally, if you share your creations...what do you create?
I share my houses. And I made some decorative objects. And a stair thing that I like. Oh and a backwards garage door with frontwards animations. :D

I know, but everybody else answered so much better than I did... your possible tantrum just gave me an excuse to repost properly. :)

- are you more into building lots, decorating lots, creating sims, or playing families?
I use already made lots mostly plasticbox these days, redecorate and change a few things in them to fit certain families needs.
- lots: do you play highly decorated, with walls up/cutaway, with a focus on 'whoever has the most toys wins"? Or do you play barely decorated, walls down, with a focus on interractions/spawning?
Walls are always down, camera in the back of the lot facing the street.
- is genetics your thing? Do you like watching spawns, and spawns of spawns for how they turn out? Or do you barely get through one generation before you're off to the next family?
I am playing a hood now that I am trying to see through several generations, now that I have a good set of CAS replacements spawns do not look so awful.
- do you build lots of hoods, or have you been playing one or two hoods forever?
I have four XP user accounts, with one neighborhood in each. They are Modern/Suburban, Country-Rural, Victorian and Medieval.
- in terms of what your sims do: are you into relationships and interractions, or are you more into how they skill and climb the corporate ladders?
It depends on the aspiration, I find that the Rural theme I am playing now I have become a bit more laid back allowing free will a bit now and then. Ever since TS1 I have been micromanaging my sims every move, with the invention of macrotastics to manage those issues that now only need addressing about once a week I even let my sims relax a bit now and then. My TS1 sims must have hated me with a burning passion, I never allowed them any rest, if they were awake they needed to be working on something.
- do you play lots of community lots, or are your sims homebodies?
I do not go to community lots, my sims are hermits. A few own business, but that is as close as I go to community lots.
-city/country/suburban? do you do themes? (aliens, medieval, Victorian)
I have four XP user accounts, with one neighborhood in each. They are Modern/Suburban, Country-Rural, Victorian and Medieval.
- do you play with pets?
Yes, many familes have pest, mostly cats as I am a cat person. Mine is on my lap whenever I am at the computer with her head on my keyboard.
- do you do the vamp/werewolf/alien/zombie thing, or are you more a 'real person' player?
There are a few families where aliens, zombies and servoes are part of the family, I find them useful for minding and training spawn.
- hacks: do you like to make life simpler or harder? insim? inteen?
I do not play with out the Insim and lots of stuffings from the fish. I use hacks to create nobility and royalty in my medieval neighborhood. I also use that in my Victorian area, very handy to create slums complete with a slumlord!
-custom content: lots or a little? what do you have the most of?
I have alot of CC if it was to be all added up, the most is genetics. I only have 8 skins, mostly it is hair & eyes to give different classes of sim a hairstyle that is approperate.
- and finally, if you share your creations...what do you create?
By looking at the things I have tried to create I have determined them not fit to share, my recolors are so awful it would be criminal to post them.

Playing families usually. I really only build lots when I'm forced to. However, there are occasions where I get a wild hair up my butt and go on a building spree.

Barely decorated most of the time. Unless the family has an over abundance of funds. Then I'll splurg a little and fancy the place up.

I have a short attention span in this game. But I'm trying to change that because the constant restarts are annoying and making me bored with the starting families in the Maxian hoods.
Quote
- do you build lots of hoods, or have you been playing one or two hoods forever?
I play Pleasantview and Strangetown mostly. But lately I've been playing Strangetown more.
Quote
- in terms of what your sims do: are you into relationships and interractions, or are you more into how they skill and climb the corporate ladders?
Little of both. If a sim gets a promotion I put priority on skill/friend gaining while trying not to screw up their usual routine. Then when they're done they go back to the usual mundane things until the next promotion.
Quote
- do you play lots of community lots, or are your sims homebodies?
Both. My younger sims (teens and YA's) travel to community lots pretty frequently. Older sims usually stay home unless they have a community lot business.
Quote
-city/country/suburban?
All of the above. Some sims I prefer to live in a certain region. Depending on things like personality, aspiration, or whatever goal I have for them.
Quote
- do you do themes? (aliens, medieval, Victorian)
Never had a themed hood before. But have thought about building a futuristic hood full of aliens.
Quote
- do you play with pets?
Sometimes. They're usually more trouble than they're worth for me.
Quote
- do you do the vamp/werewolf/alien/zombie thing, or are you more a 'real person' player?
I think everyone knows I have an alien fetish by now. ;D I like vamps as well. Servos are cool. Haven't played around with werewolves too much yet. I rarely if ever do zombies since they're kinda irreversible. Not sure how I feel about a plant sim since they skip two whole age groups.
Quote
- hacks: do you like to make life simpler or harder? insim? inteen?
Not really to make it more simpler or harder, but to make it more sane.
Quote
-custom content: lots or a little? what do you have the most of?
Not too much. Mostly hack. Every once in a while I'll see some CC clothing or whatnot that'll catch my eye.
Quote
- and finally, if you share your creations...what do you create?
Discuss.
I usually upload the lots that I make every once in a blue moon.
